An ultra-deep reservoir stratified water sample and sediment core integrated artificial intelligence sampling device, comprising a sampling device main chamber, an attitude balance sensor, a propeller, a balance base, and a sampler body, wherein the attitude balance sensor and the sampler body are disposed inside the sampling device main chamber; the propeller is disposed outside the sampling device main chamber; and the balance base is located at a bottom end of the sampling device main chamber. The sampling device of the present invention is an intelligent sampling device integrating high-definition underwater topography observation, undisturbed sediment core collection, vertical stratified accurate sampling of water bodies, and real-time in-situ monitoring of key physical and chemical parameters, and can be flexibly applied to deep and shallow water environments under complicated conditions.

Described is an apparatus for controlling a position of a sample in a liquid chromatography system. The apparatus includes a rotary drive mechanism, a stepper motor and a rotational coupling system such as a drive belt and pulley system. The rotational coupling system transfers the rotational motion of a motor shaft to a shaft of the rotary drive mechanism. Advantageously, the stepper motor is remote to the sample compartment for improved safety in the event that volatile gas accumulates within the sample compartment. The rotary drive mechanism can be configured in a small form factor and can provide highly stable rotation of an attached sample tray to accommodate the requirements of compact liquid chromatography systems. In addition, leakage from inside the sample compartment to the ambient environment is substantially reduced or eliminated, resulting in better thermal control of the sample compartment.

A neural network-based method for quantifying a volume of a specimen. The method includes providing a specimen, capturing images of the specimen, and directly classifying to one of a plurality of volume classes or volumes using a trained neural network. Quality check modules and specimen testing apparatus adapted to carry out the volume quantification method are described, as are other aspects.
